Variations de la personnalité
A French psychology book by H. Borru, published in Paris by Baillière in 1888 and catalogued under hypnotism and personality disorders, aimed at clinicians and students of mental illness. Its photographs show men posed in plain outdoor settings against walls and cobbles, posture and expression carefully staged, offering a designer a stark documentary look built on frank full-length figures, grey tonal range and simple props like a wooden chair.
